Geomembrane
Geomembran is a type of Geosynthetic material that acts as a waterproof coating made of synthetic materials such as plastic.
Geomembrane Applications :
- Landfills
- Landfills Cap
- Hazardous Waste Containment
- Liquid Waste Containment
- Secondary Containment
- Aquaculture Ponds
- Canals
- Portable Water Containment
- Water Reservoirs
- Mining
- Tunnel Lining
- Storage Tanks
Geomembrane has been used in the following environmental, geotechnical, hydraulic, transportation and environmental development applications :
- As liners for drinking water
- As a liner for backup water (e.g. Safe nuclear facility closure)
- As liners for waste liquid (e.g., Waste sludge)
- Coatings for radioactive or dangerous liquid waste
- As a liner for secondary containment of underground storage tanks
- As a liner for solar pools
- As a liner for brine solution
- As a liner for the agricultural industry
- As a liner for the aquiculture industry, such as fish / shrimp ponds
- As a liner for golf course water holes and sand bunkers
- As a liner for all types of decorative and architectural ponds
- As a liner for water transport channels
- As liners for various garbage transport channels
- As liners for primary, secondary and / or tertiary solid waste disposal sites, and landfills
- As liners for pile leach pads
- As a cover (lid) for solid waste disposal
- As a cover for aerobic and anaerobic digesters in the agricultural industry
- As a cover for coal ash power plants
- As a liner for vertical walls: single or double with leak detection
- As a cutoff in a soil dam grouped for seepage control
- As a layer for emergency spillways
- As a waterproofing coating in tunnels and pipelines such as waterproof on earth and stone dams

- Under the highway to prevent pollution from deicing salt
- Below and bordering the highway to catch dangerous liquid spills
- As a detention structure for temporary additional costs
- To help build uniformity of subsurface compressibility and subsidence
- Under the asphalt layer as a waterproofing layer
- To withstand seepage losses in tanks above existing ground
- As a flexible form where material loss cannot be allowed
